When I woke up, I made myself a quick, easy breakfast to enjoy while watching the news.
This yogurt mess contained:
- 0% Fage Greek yogurt
- canned pumpkin
- 1/2 banana
- 1 mini TJ’s blueberry bran muffin
- 1 scoop TJ’s flaxy peanut butter
- agave nectar
I will admit that I dipped into the communal bowl a couple times at work today… luckily I also had a healthy orange to munch on.
For lunch, I brought leftover Porcini Mushroom Soup (which is more mushroom/potato, less broth), apple slices, and carrots + hummus.
I wrapped a serving of hummus in a little Saran Wrap bundle, and am pleased to let you know that there was no spillage in my lunch bag! I’m getting the hang of this, slowly but surely.
In the afternoon, I snacked on half of a Chocolate Chip Peanut Crunch Clif bar.
I went to the gym after work, eager to try out my new iPod. Sleepless in Seattle was on, so I watched that instead! Maybe I should have just bought the headphones…
Per my training schedule, I ran 2 miles at an easy pace. I also did arms and abs.
Distance: 2.0 miles
Time: 20:40 minutes (10:20 pace, 5.8 mph… schedule wanted me to run a 10:54 pace, but that was too slow for me!)
When I got home I was starving. Luckily dinner was all ready, by way of last night’s leftover Cheesy Polenta with Roasted Vegetables.
While watching an old episode of Glee, I ate some Coconut Bliss ice cream with homemade cardamom chocolate sauce. It was eaten out of a mug, just because!
Off I go to shower and read (for work). Have a great night!
I’m working on sleep too, good luck girl. Good luck with your half training…when is your Half?
Ice cream looks great!!
Congrats on Day 1 of training
I usually have my alarm on the other side of the room so that when it goes off (really loud) I have to get up. And once I’m up, I’m up!
Ice cream in a mug is the only way! You need the handle so your hands don’t get cold.
good luck on your half-marathon training! i can see you’re already off to a great start since you’re ahead
have a lovely day! xox
glee, ice cream, homemade chocolate sauce, and a mug? sounds like a dream come true! i think clocky would give me nightmares
. good luck with your training, way to start things off right!
whoo for half training!!! great job! home made chocolate sauce? YUM!
i love that you always have the cutest little dessert treats with your din dins! adorable!!!
i need to get back into the hummus kick!!! soon the boy will be gone, and i will be going out WAYYY less…….so i guess I don’t have to worry about the breath factor. (Though he is Greek and consumes a ton of garlic anyway!)
ive always been a morning person, so getting up for me is a CINCH. however, staying up at night with friends is often TOUGH. i always feel like im the first to fall!
LOVE YOU KATIE BEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the foods!!! Don’t you just love easy breakfast?
Coconut cream ice cream is the bestest!!
Reading for work before….girl thats a lot of thinking right before shut eye
Must be dedicated and love your job!
XXOO
Wow some great eats here. I think I need to get out of eating the same thing ALL the time. I want to do a half marathon this year. Any tips for a beginner?
Mmmmm…cheesy polenta! Yes please!
I can’t even tell you how much I’m obsessed with Glee! They are having open casting for season two – me and Bradley are going to be famous!
Loving that yogurt mess! I need to go to trader joes and get some mini muffins!!! Have a great day!!!
I just can´t see these pieces of art.
Congratulations.
I’m training for a half, too! Well, not yet. But I will in March. I’m doing a half at the end of May in Boston, my first ever… I’m excited!
Clocky looks like the best idea any one has ever had!

I’ve been pining for it since about…FOREVER. I feel that the two clocks combined would be the ultimate wake up each morning!
Good choice girl that you want a pug!! They are great dogs!!! Awww and how sweet you have a name picked out already, I did too before I got her, I had her name picked out like 6 months before, lol!!!
gah, the cardamom chocolate sauce looks SO DANG GOOD!
i am loving the looks of that morning yogurt bowl – a little bit of everything, just how i like it! and YAYYYYY for 1/2 marathon!
I have those same ziploc screw top containers and LOVE them! They are the perfect size!!!
Also, congrats on starting your training!!!
I’m so excited for you!
best of luck w/ the half marathon training! what a great goal.
I still have problems waking up, so I can relate. What is working for me currently is having an alarm set for a certain time, then my cell phone alarm set for 5 minutes later. What tends to happen in the morning is I hit snooze on the clock, then grab my cell phone and stuff it under my pillow. Five minutes later it starts this horrible vibrating that definitely wakes me up. If I hit snooze on the cell phone in one more second or so the clock alrm goes off, which is a terrible reminder that I really need to just get up already.
(Sorry to ramble!)
Ah, i’ve only been back for a day and now you’ve got me seriously craving a YOGURT MESS!! That one looks gloriouss, especially with that yummy little peanut butter spoonage in the corner, haha!!
Good luck with the training! I know you can doooo it. You’re so funny, already too hardcore for it after just a day
Your breakfast looks really good.. I have seen tons of sweet potato tonight…
Half-Marathon Training Begins! | Lilveggiepatch – just great!
